Sambhaji Brigade set to become a political party with plans to contest BMC Elections 2017 as well

Sambhaji Brigade, one of the organisers of the Maratha protests, is set to become a political party today. The party plans to contest the zilla parishad and Brihanmumbai Municipal Council (BMC) elections.
According to Manoj Akhare, president, Sambhaji Brigade, political clout is necessary to bring about change. “We have been doing social work since the past 25 years but nothing substantial can be achieved without political power,” said Akhare.
“The people need an alternative as political parties have failed them,” he said.
Akhare said aggression will still remain the cornerstone of the new political party. “We will pursue the same agenda as before,” he added. He said the party would be inclusive of all, except Brahmins.
The brigade was one of the leading outfits, which organised Maratha marches across the state, in protest of the rape and minor of a minor Maratha girl in Kopardi. The community demanded reservation in government jobs and education, as well as amendments to the Atrocities Act, which they alleged was used by Dalits to harass them.
How effective they will be in the BMC Elections scenario, only time will tell.
